Believe me, even as broke as we both were at the time Reapercon was going on, we were both considering seeing what we could get away with at the airlines. :D We both really, really wanted to go.

I agree, I love the layout of the Columbus convention center (lots of food choices IN the con center, even a store to buy smokes at! whee!) and the surrounding area SO MUCH better than Indy. And the pad thai you can get at the North Market rocks my socks. Even though it's unlikely that I'll be @ Origins, I'm still going to try my best to weasel my way down there if the oppourtunity arrises. ;)
